So, after the fun of Ardha shirshasana and the realization that Bakasana was probably quite achievable, I am now on a thing to work on Solar Flow II until I can get at least some of the arm balances. I was SO CLOSE on Bakasana today. I can see what people mean, that it is more a balancing issue than a strength issue. I also managed the first stage of Eka Pada Koundiyanasana II on one side. I got my left leg nice and extended, balanced on my elbow, but I'm nowhere near ready to lift the back leg. Still, it was cool to get even that far. My hamstrings have really released over the summer, part of what makes this possible.

In other yoga news,

zats_clear suggested we check out Anna Brett and Ravi Singh on YouTube.

I kept thinking, cheerleader yoga. Check out this kundalini cardio dance thing. See?

And yet, I kept thinking, I want to move like that. Is it my inner soror, trying to break free? And what if Dance the Chakras made it onto my Christmas list? *is ashamed*

And does anybody know why < small > does not work in stupid Dreamwidth?

bakasana...I have come close but was disconcertingly close to some floor to ceiling windows so, er, no!

(yin yoga will really help release your hips btw)

is Anna Brett hysterical? I see her as less "cheerleader" and more "over-zenned." Ravi is her husband and I have yet to see him in evidence on the clips altho he is referenced constantly in reviews (like in YJ). Choreography, perhaps? Providing his girl with the appropriate stuff to smoke that gives her that look???

PS it is the same girl! different hair colors/cuts! it took me several viewings of multiple clips before I was able to lift my jaw up off the floor ~~and let it support my brain again~~ and figure that out.
